DC DR Setup Queries
by KK CHN 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

List, We are having a client DC running on HP( HP simplivity) HCI servers, With VMware ( Vsphere 7.0) only few VMs running on it. (11 VMs maximum all Linux VMs). The DR site also having the same HCI setup another location. ( The VMs are replicated to DR site with HP simplivity). We are planning to use Openstack for both DC and DR solutions with Wallaby or Xena version with KVM as hypervisor to replace the proprietary S/W and H/W vendor locking. The requirement is to Setup a Stable DC- DR solution. Totally confused How to setup a best Dc- DR solution for this purpose. The DR setup can be possible / advisable with Zero down time ?( or manual DR site uping with downtime of hours ) ? What are the available/suggested DC-DR replication mechanisms for high degree of application data protection and service availability? Kindly advise.. Thanks in advance, Krish

[cloudkitty] Another core team cleanup
by Pierre Riteau 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Hello, Almost exactly two years since the last core team cleanup [1], it's probably time to have another one. I don't think we have heard from these contributors in the last couple of years: Justin Ferrieu jferrieu(a)objectif-libre.com Luis Ramirez luis.ramirez(a)opencloud.es Luka Peschke mail(a)lukapeschke.com Maxime Cottret maxime.cottret(a)gmail.com Stéphane Albert sheeprine(a)nullplace.com Jeremy Liu liuj285(a)chinaunicom.cn Is everyone okay with removing cloudkitty-core membership for these users? Cheers, Pierre Riteau (priteau) [1] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-October/017751…

Our workload consist of enterprise users with VMs running on Openstack and connected to their enterprise network via transfer network(to which the customer neutron router is attached to).

When you say Router IP, do you mean the virtual neutron router and its IP associated with the provider network? What type of IPs are you announcing with BGP? IPs on provider network or on tenant networks (or both)? Yes, that's with Neutron DR agent, and I meant virtual neutron router with IP from the provider network. We announce IPs of our tenant network via the virtual routers external address. > > If the router fails over, the route needs to be updated, doesn't it? Same IP, but exposed in the new location of the router? Correct. > The route to the tenant network doesn't change, ie. > 192.168.0.0 via 172.24.4.100 (this route remains the same regardless of where 172.24.4.100 is). > If there's L2 in the 172.24.4.0 network, the new location of 172.24.4.100 will be learnt via GARP announcement. In our case, this won't happen as we don't have L2 so we expose directly connected routes to overcome this "limitation". Right, in our case we have a stretched L2 transfer network(mentioned above) to which our gateway nodes and customer routers are connected to, so we can advertise the IPs from the tenant network via the virtual router external IP and thus the location of the router isn't relevant in case of failover as its address will be relearned. > In the case of Neutron Dynamic Routing, there's no assumption that everything is L3 so GARPs are needed to learn the new location. > > > > We see that the routes are announced by the ovn-bgp-agent via the host IP(GTW) in our > > > switch peers.

For the IPs on the provider network, the traffic is directly exposed where the VMs are, without having to go through the virtual router, so a router failover won't change the route. > > In the case of VMs on tenant networks, the traffic is exposed on the node where the virtual router gateway port is associated (I suppose this is what you refer to with router IP). In the case of a failover the agent is in charge of making FRR to withdraw the exposed routes on the old node, and re-advertise them on the new router IP location > > > > > Can we accomplish the same route advertisement as our ML2/OVS setup, using the ovn-bgp-agent? > > I think this is technically possible, and perhaps you want to contribute that functionality or even help integrating the agent as a driver of Neutron Dynamic Routing? Sounds good, our plan currently is to add this to the ovn-bgp-agent, so we can announce our tenant routes via virtual routers external address on a stretched L2 network, to make it work with our use case. -- Ihtisham ul Haq Diese E Mail enthält möglicherweise vertrauliche Inhalte und ist nur für die Verwertung durch den vorgesehenen Empfänger bestimmt.

[kolla] Monasca removal, Kafka and Zookeeper deprecation/removal
by Michał Nasiadka 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Hello, As Kolla/Kolla-Ansible projects are implementing switch to OpenSearch - it became obvious to remove Elasticsearch (which is EOL in Kolla-provided version) and orchestrate a direct upgrade into OpenSearch. Part of this work is removal of elasticsearch and log stash Kolla container images and elasticsearch role in Kolla-Ansible. Since Monasca is relying on Elasticsearch and Logstash - and there are no contributors willing to make it work with OpenSearch inside Kolla/Kolla-Ansible - we decided to drop Monasca support in Zed release (especially that the CI jobs have been long failing). One of the Monasca dependencies is Kafka (and ZooKeeper) - is there anybody using it outside of Monasca deployment in Kolla/Kolla-Ansible? If in 4 weeks there will be no answers to this question - we will also remove Kafka and ZooKeeper container images in Kolla (and their respective roles in Kolla-Ansible). Thanks Michal

[ptls][tc] 2022 OpenStack User Survey Project Question Responses
by Allison Price 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hi everyone, Please find attached the responses to the project questions from the 2022 OpenStack User Survey. Based on feedback last year, I included additional, non-identifiable information that will hopefully help provident deployment context for the responses to your questions. If you need a reminder of your project question, you can review the OpenStack User Survey [1]. During the PTG, I would encourage you and your teams to review the responses and decide if you would like to make any changes to your question for the 2023 OpenStack User Survey. It is live now, but we can make changes ahead of significant promotion. Please reach out to me directly with any changes. If you have any questions on how to read the results, please let me know. Have a great week at the PTG! Cheers, Allison [1] https://www.openstack.org/usersurvey
